JULIO NAVARRO BRIONES, QF CUENCA, SPAIN.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JULIO NAVARRO BRIONES, a subject of the Kin of Spain, and resident of Cuenca, in the gProvince of Cuenca, Spain, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compound Fabrics, of which the following is a specifi-v The -invention relates to compound fabrics in which cork, associatedrvith a textile material, is used as garments to prevent the loss of heat from the human is also a bad conductor of `leatri'cty, 'thef same construction proides safely against electric shocks.

According to the invention, a layerof cork dust, or of thin slices of cork, is inclosed between two sheets of textile fabric, which are sewn together in directions crossing each` other, so as to leave small spaces withim which the insulating material is contained and held in position. The sides of the inclosed spaces are, preferably, about a centimeter in length and the thickness of the cork layer, preferably, from one to two millimeters.

Two or more superimposed thicknesses of the compound.' fabric may be employed where special protection is required, and in this case it is advisable that the seams of one thickness should coincide with-the centers of the spacesof the adjacent thickness.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l shows an example of a portion of a garment composed of two sheets of fabric within which is'contained the finely 1divided cork. Fig. 2 is a sectionl of the compound fabric.

A Fig. 3 shows two superimposed layers of the compound fabric.

Referring to Figs. 1 'and 2, A and B are the two sheets of fabric between which the cork particles C are inclosed and are kept in position by seams D which cross the fabric at right angles. Two suchfcompoundfabrics F and G are shown superimposed in Fig. 3; in this case'the seams would be arranged so that the stitches of one layercross the centers of the spaces inclcsed by the stitches of the other layer.

If cork in small shavings or the like is employed as the insulating medium, the compound fabric .may be caused to pass over a cylmder, or between cylinders, provided with suitably disposed small teeth or pins which perforate the material and'thereby ventilate it. Aftery leaving the cylinders the fabric is as smoothl and soft as chamois leather.

Garments of the type described are lightbl" iexible, hygienic, since l'they' allow of thel ready escape of perspiration, and they proj-'tect their wearers against shock from eleetri' 'j fied wires.; the materials used are inexpensive and if the outer fabrics are damaged others can be applied to the same insulating material. f

Having thus described'the nature of the said invention and the best means I know of carrying the Asame into practical effect, I claim zl 1. A garment comprising two sheets of textile fabric stitched together in directions crossing each other, so as to leave small rec,-

.tangular spaces containing cork fragments.
